So this is happening...

[alexisjane]

I have rewritten Gazes Into You.

I always intended to publish this as an original fic... although I wasn't expecting on getting it out quite so soon.
I'm just waiting for it to get back from the editor and then I'll put it up on Amazon, etc. So, two weeks?

What this does mean though is that I'm going to be TAKING DOWN the J2 version. So, if you want to download that from AO3, do it soon.

Just so's you know, I am happy for the J2 version to be shared between y'all in the future. I just can't have it online with the official version available.

As always, I'll be giving out a bunch of ARCs (Advanced Review Copies) once I've formatted the files, so if you want to get one of those, just let me know. And I do a ton of giveaways and free promo stuff on a regular basis so if you don't want to pay cash money for this, there will be an opportunity to get your hands on it gratis in the future. All I ask is a quick review or rating on Goodreads or Amazon. Doesn't even have to be a positive one : ) No, really...it all about the algorithm...or something.

I have no idea what I'm doing...
Anyway.

I got four more planned in this series, so I'm hoping people like this one. I mean, creepy stalker ex-cop getting all hurt/comfort sexytimes with a *coughs*Stockholm Syndrome*coughs* much younger stranger... what's not to like!? : )

************

Ex-detective John Right likes to watch.
There's no harm in it.

The latest object of his obsession—a twenty-something stranger who chains his bike outside John's office—doesn't feel the weight of John's eyes on him, doesn't know about the secret recordings or what John does with them in the dead of night. Except when the kid disappears, John finds himself doing far more that just watching.
Reluctantly, John has to start thinking like a cop once more as he frantically tries to track down his mystery man. Although when he finds him, John is left with more questions than answers. And the more he learns, the more he wishes he'd never started looking in the first place.
Can John get to the bottom of the mystery without giving away his own dirty secret? And without giving in to his urge to do more than simply watch?

Well...nobody's perfect.

Ooh how very cool! I'd love to do you a review on an advance copy, I really enjoyed the J2 version! How exciting!

I'm hoping this one works okay. It has a few new bits but the story is basically the same. Should be done by Friday : ) xx

I'm really happy with the way the cover came out! One of the major pluses of self-publishing...I can have the exact cover I want : ) xx

Congrats!!!

The cover is fantastic! Are you leaving the deleted scenes and the timestamps? BTW, need a continuation from the last one... I'll try to do an -epub of them all just for me. I just have the online tool for making epubs though and sometimes they come out really wonky. :(

I'd love to get an ARC!!!

I love this story! I actually downloaded the epub the other day!

*hugs*

Thank you Hunny!!

I really wanted this cover for ages so I'm pretty happy with the way it came out : )
No the time stamps will be coming down too...for reasons : ) The second timestamp will be in Book two!

You can download an epub from AO3 I'm sure.

Course you can have one : ) I'll put you on the list : ) xxx

Congratulations on this!

I do have one question. Will the sequels be strictly original fiction, or will there be a J2 version first?

Either way, good luck!

Thank you Hunny : )

That is a good question. And the answer is...I'm not sure yet.

In theory, all I would need to do is change the names but actually there are some physical differences (Like Jensen's eyes are green, John's are blue, Chad is tall, Marty is short) so it depends how much time I have. Also I've culled stuff from this fic that will not show up until the next book and there's some new stuff in this one so maybe a straight adaption of book two might not make sense if people have only read the fic...IDK. The second book isn't slated until next October so I'll see how it's going then.

I'm sorry that's not very helpful, Hun. I'll keep you posted though : ) xx
